What is 12/17 Divided By 7/4

Solving $\frac{12}{17}\div\frac{7}{4}$

• Rewrite the Division as Multiplication by the Reciprocal:

$\frac{12}{17} \div \frac{7}{4} = \frac{12}{17} \times \frac{4}{7}$

• Multiply the Numerators: $12 \times 4 = 48$
• Multiply the Denominators: $17 \times 7 = 119$
• Form the New Fraction: $\frac{12}{17} \times \frac{7}{4} = \frac{48}{119}$
